Honestly one of the reasons Donald Trump keeps saying that the Iranians are trying to kill him is it's just trying to brain wash people into seeing them as a threat

I'm smiling and laughing because that headline you just read is so it's so funny. It's so funny. It's so funny. It's like just everything is happening in a vacuum. But I can once again go back to the last couple of decades

You've had this constant fear-mongering about Iran as being an evil actor that's trying to get nuclear weapons. Right now you have a lot of debate

inside of Iran about where they're headed because their president died there to a president come in and

he wants to renegotiate the nuclear deal and so on.

And I'm glad that the Iranians went with the nuclear deal originally because they kind of

gave the Americans benefit of the doubt.

They did everything by the book. I AEA confirmed that they're following the the Americans repeating itself now. They didn't respond to the assassination of Haniya in Tehran.

They gave the Americans the benefit of the doubt and they once again prove that you

can't trust American diplomats, which is a shame, right? Because once upon a time

you know Western diplomats actually cared about

their reputation, they actually cared about how their country came across to the rest of the world,

didn't mean that they were, you know, necessarily good actors, but again, there's the element of shame. That's completely of shame that's completely gone there's no more

rationale there's no more real politic as you as you are alluding to it's just like

unconditional evil support for one evil actor to the other and I have to laugh

because otherwise I think we'd be crying honestly, but we are in a period of transition and I think it's good for people to recall what the Ukraine war did, how it sped up this whole transition to a multipolar world.

So the best way we can describe this is like a violent beast kind of thrashing about in its final moments.

That's how we should look at the Western Israel.

Yes, but how much thrashing is there going to be and how bad is this going to get I

think is the question that people want answered. You alluded to this idea

that at one point there was more credibility, that America had more credibility.

And I remember I'm thinking of a colloquy recently that I believe it was another one of the State
